Players get stuck when teleporting between the Hive (lobby) and builder servers, or teleport attempts fail silently.
Symptoms
- Students click to join a server but nothing happens
- "Teleport failed" error message
- Large groups trying to join at the same time
- Works for some students but not others
Cause
Roblox TeleportService has rate limits. When many players teleport simultaneously (e.g., whole class joining at once), requests get throttled. Currently 2,400+ occurrences in the error dashboard — this is a high-volume issue.
Workaround
- Stagger joins — have students join in groups of 3-4, waiting 30 seconds between groups
- Wait and retry — if a student's teleport fails, wait 30 seconds then try again
- Check Roblox status — visit status.roblox.com to see if there's a platform-wide issue
- If persistent, the student can try restarting Roblox entirely
Fix Status
Open. Needs debounce/queue system for teleport requests to prevent overwhelming TeleportService.
